WANTED: Wanted: Purple Hull Pea

jaleeisa(6b Oklahoma)July 19, 2008

It's time to plant these in my area and of course, every farm supply in town is sold out. I've even had a couple places try to sell me black eyed peas as purple hulls. Those familiar with the peas know there's a distinct difference in appearance and flavor. I'm also having trouble finding them at the farmer's market and in the grocery stores.

So, anyone that has true purple hull pea seeds, the ones with the "pink" or "purple" shaded eye, please, post here and email me so we can arrange a trade. Please, respond only if you're sure yours are actually the purple hulls (they are often confused with black eye).
